Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness
Chapter 177: It Seems, Perhaps, Indeed, There Is Something Going On?Boom!
The office door was suddenly flung open, startling Li Yawen into a frenzy as he hurriedly closed the webpage; when he realized who the newcomer was, he erupted in anger.
“Wang Yongbo! You again, why don’t you ever knock before entering? Can’t you respect my privacy?”
Wang Yongbo ignored him, hoisted up a stool, and planted himself beside Li Yawen, handing him a tablet: “Stop watching those booty-shaking female streamers. Here’s something a man should watch.”
Li Yawen’s face turned red with embarrassment: “Who was watching female streamers? How can you accuse me of such things without any evidence…” “What innocence? I’ve caught you several times watching live streams during work hours, female streamers, and you, Wolf Fang CEO, spending all day on Tiger Fang live streams? How does that look?”
Li Yawen’s face turned even redder, veins on his forehead bulging as he argued: “Watching live streams can’t be considered just watching… I’m also a vice president!… Can a vice president’s actions be described as mere watching? It’s clearly spying on the competition! If I don’t venture into Hell, who will? I’m risking my life for Wolf Fang!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t bother with these empty talks, just watch this,” said Wang Yongbo as he went over to the water dispenser to quench his thirst, parched for quite some time.
Li Yawen looked up at the clock and realized it was already past eleven; he muttered, “What’s there to watch now? It’s time to get off work…”
A few minutes later, having watched the video, Li Yawen wore a stunned expression. This video, less than thirty minutes long, was the entire record of Bi Fang and Etienne’s hunting and being hunted, and it had already amassed over three hundred thousand views on the most popular overseas platform, MeTube!
Barely an hour had passed since its upload! There was enormous potential for growth! With this momentum, Li Yawen believed it could reach ten million views.“Isn’t this the talented streamer you found before?”
Wang Yongbo’s face was brimming with smiles: “Hard to believe, right? It would be one thing if it was uploaded by some famous streamer, but previously, the uploader was just an ordinary high school student, not even breaking into triple-digit followers. One video, and he gained thirty thousand!”
Li Yawen was at a loss for words; it took him a long time to gather his thoughts: “How did Bi Fang do it? I mean, why does he have so many fans overseas?”
Wang Yongbo pulled out a stack of newspapers and placed them on the desk: “Remember the prehistoric creature he discovered during his last live broadcast?”
Eagerly, Li Yawen picked them up and flipped through, realizing they were all English newspapers, many of them quite reputable with followers all around the world.
This was the foundation, as well as the reason Bi Fang had become famous overseas following the discovery of a prehistoric creature!
“What are you trying to do?” Li Yawen asked seriously, sensing that Wang Yongbo’s visit wasn’t as simple as just watching a video.
Wang Yongbo leaned in closer: “Have you ever thought about Wolf Fang expanding overseas?”
Li Yawen looked shocked: “Are you insane? We can’t even handle it here in China; you want to expand overseas? Even Shark and Tiger Fang wouldn’t dare to do that. What makes us think we can?”
“On what basis? This sharp sword!” Wang Yongbo pointed at Bi Fang on the tablet, “Plus, do you think this was my idea? I wouldn’t dream of it! It was MeTube who took the initiative to come to us! They want to partner with us!” “I think we can work with them to develop an overseas section! Together, we’ll slice into the outdoor live streaming market!”
Li Yawen said skeptically: “You didn’t just wake up from a nap before coming to me, did you? Still half asleep?”
Wang Yongbo threw down another stack of documents: “You’re underestimating Bi Fang’s current influence.”
Li Yawen took the documents, and what he saw made his eyes pop.
They contained all sorts of partnership invites, from big-brand endorsements to variety channels, and even manufacturers wanting to develop co-branded toys!
“Bi Fang is a sharp sword, his content unique to the whole world, impossible to learn or even mimic. Who else can wrestle with black bears? Find prehistoric creatures? Take on wolf packs single-handedly? And now, traveling across Europe with geese?”
“Bi Fang isn’t just a streamer; he’s a modern legend! It just so happens that he chose live streaming as his medium!”
A modern, legend?
Li Yawen was taken aback. He wasn’t just some office worker stealing glimpses
at female streamers, he too had his own way of thinking.
What Wang Yongbo said sounded… as if, indeed, perhaps, there might be something to it?
This could be an unprecedented opportunity for Wolf Fang and for Bi Fang as well.
The difficulty of developing overseas users is well understood by everyone; it’s possible that there won’t be any significant achievements within a year, but as long as there’s an opportunity, even a longer duration is acceptable.
The first live broadcast achieved good results, which might have been luck; the second live broadcast doubled in popularity, which might have been chance, but to say it’s luck for the live broadcasts to become increasingly successful each time, with all achieving brilliant results, is too much.
And Bi Fang had a huge success in all three broadcasts, admired by the ordinary people; even when he ran a “bonus” broadcast for a day in between, the popularity was still sky-high. It can only be said that he truly has unmatched abilities in this field, and such a person should not be confined to just one domestic market—the only thing limiting him is the platform!
How could Wolf Fang lag behind?
This genius had fully proven his strength beyond doubt. It was not only Wang Yongbo personally who had great expectations for him, but the entire Wolf Fang company hoped he would create another miracle and prove to the world that although Wolf Fang once had a brief period of decline, it still had the strength, and would one day reclaim the leading position, even becoming the industry leader worldwide!
“What do you want me to do?”
“Tomorrow I will propose this decision to the board of directors, and you have to support me unconditionally!”
“Okay!”
Bi Fang made a notch in the branch and then used a rock to hammer the back of his knife. After just two strikes, Bi Fang suddenly saw darkness, the firelight disappeared, and a strong sense of dizziness came over him. He became rigid in the tree.
[What happened to Master Fang?]
[Why isn’t he moving?]
The audience sent in their queries, but Bi Fang quickly recovered, pinching his brow: “It’s nothing. I’m probably just too tired today, a bit dizzy.”
After speaking, Bi Fang continued to hit the back of the knife, and the others didn’t suspect anything. Before long, a three-meter-long branch fell to the ground.
Bi Fang had already chopped down three such branches, which were the main supports for the shelter.
[How is he going to build this time? There are hardly any leaves on the trees, how can they serve as the roof?]
[Yeah, the snow isn’t thick enough, and there are no leaves, it seems like he can’t build a conical shelter or a snow cave, right?]
The audience was skeptical, and it seemed a bit difficult.
“That’s why I’m here to build a bush shelter today. This is a tundra region; we don’t have many leaves like in Qinling, so we can only make use of the bushes.”
Bi Fang returned to the ground, and Etienne dragged the three long logs behind him. The two stopped at a flat area.
“The structure is still a simple triangle, which is the most energy-efficient and stable. However, there is also a knack to choosing the spot, Etienne, do you see anything different about this place?”
Etienne looked at the ground and thought for a while: “Eh, is it a slope?”
“That’s right, a slight slope; this way, our feet will be a little higher than our heads when we sleep. Especially after a whole day of walking, having the legs slightly higher than the head can be very relaxing. It allows the blood to flow back from the legs, providing some temporary relief after a hard day.”
Bi Fang stood a short stick upright on the ground, marked it with his knife for a while, and then tied two other V-shaped sticks tightly with vines.
“To secure it in place, we will use the simplest cross knot. However, we need to carve a groove at the intersection of the cross, so that the rope will be fully tightened into it, making it more secure and less likely to come undone.”
“I surely don’t want a log falling on my face while I’m asleep.”
Bi Fang joked with the audience while he laid out branches on the supports and then covered them with a layer of bushes, quickly constructing a brown shelter. Just by moving the fire over, it would become a perfect campsite.
“Bush shelters can’t block the rain, but they definitely protect against harsh winds and cold air.”
That’s settled; I have a place to sleep tonight.
The geese huddled together under the rocks, slumbering, and Etienne wrapped them in a layer of burlap.
Bi Fang also went to collect laundry; the quick-drying clothes could dry in an hour with just the wind, let alone being baked.
After dressing, Bi Fang and Etienne crawled into the shelter and ended the day’s broadcast amidst the reluctance of the audience.
